Western Carolina University Chancellor John W. Bardo (left) recently presented the 2008 Judy H. Dowell Outstanding Support Staff Award to university photographer Mark Haskett (right) at a service awards luncheon.
Haskett, a Sylva resident who also was honored at the banquet for completing 20 years of service, was selected from a pool of 23 candidates who were nominated for the award by their co-workers.
Bardo said Haskett’s colleagues described him as someone who was incredibly dependable and outstandingly loyal to the university, as evidenced by the way he adjusts his schedule to work evenings, weekends or whatever it takes to photograph university events.
“He is creating a tremendous photographic history of Western that will last for many years to come,” said Bardo.
Haskett joins Bill Studenc, senior director of news services, and Mickey Randolph, professor of psychology, as Western’s nominees for the Governor’s Award for Excellence.
